Where's the best place to get a view over the works at Runcorn? I'm not sure what you mean by "over the works", and in particular whether you want the works in the pic or not (!), but there is an excellent view from Runcorn Hill/Higher Runcorn over the whole of the estuary. A spectacular expanse of...

Mike Walker knows about our group!

Hi folks, a few weeks ago I paid a visit to Mike Walker’s new whereabouts, just to see him in his new surroundings, and also to buy one of his lens alignment thingies. He’s probably my nearest LF neighbour at ~5 miles from where I live, though I would be delighted to hear from any who live closer—we...

Yes, I got email confirmations both when I placed the order and when the item was shipped.

On the Ebony website a newcomer seems to have crept in: http://www.ebonycamera.com/cam/main.SVWholeplate.html . A full-plate camera, in 2006? How many do they expect to sell? Does anyone make film in ...

Yes, count me in! A makeshift bathroom darkroom, but with an adjacent shower room for washing prints, it works just fine! Only trouble is that I don't have time to use it as often as I would like.

Charles: Of course you may be right, and I have found that sharpening up the pic (shift+R) makes the profile of the stream connect with the shape of the boulder, so that the parts of the pic join together rather better.

Charles: Critiques are so personal that you must forgive me for even having the temerity to reply, but for me the biggest problem with this pic is the great big boulder in the foreground. The leaves on top of it are worthy specimens that draw attention, but there is nothing that connects them with t...
